Clearance Rack Has Been Updated!!!!

While this is going to be a big week for Stampin' Up shoppers with the unveiling of the fantastic Holiday Mini catalogue on September 1st, I thought I better bring the newly restocked Clearance Rack to your attention too.  I wouldn't want you to miss out on any awesome deals there, and believe me there are quite a few!  I was in the process of finalizing my latest order when I decided to check it out, and was just about bowled over by all the new items that have been added since last weekend.  Remember they'll go fast, so if you're looking for some bargains on ribbons, cardstock, designer paper and other accessories check it out soon before all the good stuff is gone!  Click here to check it out. 

Punch Caddy's - A Stampin' Up Update

I've just received a bulletin advising that Stampin' Up regrets to inform its customer's that the Punch Caddy offered on page 200 of the 2010/11 Idea Book and Catalogue will not be available. Serious quality issues were discovered with the design of this product that could not be resolved. Rather than deliver a defective product to demonstrators and customers, Stampin' Up has chosen to halt production. 

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #153

I really liked Mary Fish's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Mojo153 this week.  Those little boxes really appealed to my sense of order.  But, being a chronic procrastinator the challenge for me once I decided to try this out was to find a stamp set that fit the bill, and then decide on colours and of course background.  Usually that's not hard with Stampin' Up, but for some reason, whether my MOJO just wasn't working or what, it took me all week to come up with my version. 

Hope you enjoy it.

Summer Mini ................Only One More Week

Where has the summer gone!  Leaves are starting to turn and the air has a hint of autumn breezes and gentle sunshine, and sadly August is coming to an end.  That also means that it's almost time for the 2010 Summer Mini catalogue to come to an end. How could four months go by so quickly?  So, this is just a gentle reminder that if you've had your heart set on one of the fabulous stamp sets or any of the accessories and tools that are shown in this little mini, time is running out to order. 

After midnight on August 21st, we'll be off to a new season with the fall/winterHoliday Mini catalogue, and the Summer Mini will be "no more".  If you don't have a summer mini of your own you can click on the image below to see a PDF version.  Visit my shop on line site and save with your preferred order status.   While you're there check out the clearance rack, as there are still some super specials on ribbons, buttons and accessories!
